Defining patterns in the
Call
Routing Table
avoids registering Quadro at the routing management server and gives you an option to establish a
direct connection to the destination or to use a SIP server for call routing.
The
Call
Routing Table
lists manually defined routing patterns along with their parameters (pattern number, state, routing and inbound caller
settings, RTP Proxy and Date/Time period settings, metric and description), as well as automatically created and undeletable patterns created from
the
The alternating
Show Detailed View
and
Show Brief View
buttons are used to display entries in the Call Routing table in detailed and brief views
correspondingly. The brief view displays the most important settings of the routing rules. The detailed view displays all settings of the routing rules as
they are configured in the Call Routing Wizard (see below).
The alternating
Hide disabled records
and
Show all records
buttons are used to respectively hide or show disabled records in the Call Routing
table. The system does not consider the disabled records when parsing the table for the call route.
If the route has an
Authentication
or
an
Authentication&Accounting
selected from the
AAA Required
checkbox group, it will have a link to the
Users List
in the
Call Routing table
. The
Users List
page contains a list of authorized users defined from the
Local AAA Table
and gives the
option to enable/disable authentication of each user for a particular route.
Since the
Call
Routing Table
may have multiple entries that could match to same pattern, the table will be internally rearranged according to the
rules with the following consequences:
•
The pattern matching best to the
will have the higher position in the rearranged list
•
If multiple patterns equally match to the
, the pattern with the lower metric will get the higher position in the rearranged
list
•
If the multiple patterns with the same metric have been matched to the
, the pattern in the higher position in the table
will get the higher position in the rearranged list.
The pattern in the highest position of the rearranged list will be considered as the preferred one. The second and subsequent matching patterns will
be used, if the destination refused the call due to the configured Fail Reason.
The
Enable/Disable
functional buttons are used to enable/disable the selected route(s). Disabled routes will have no effect. Enabled routes will be
parsed when initiating routing calls.
The
State
column in the
Call
Routing Table
displays the current state of the routes (enabled/disabled).
Add
starts the
Call Routing Wizard
where a new routing pattern may be defined. The
Call Routing Wizard
is divided into several pages. Page 1
displays the following components:
The
Enable
checkbox is used to enable the newly created routing rule. By default, this checkbox is selected, so the newly created routing rule will be
enabled. But if you wish to create a routing rule for a later use, disable it from this page. The new routing rule will be added to the Call Routing Table
but will be disabled and will not be considered when placing calls through the call routing unless it is enabled again.
The
Pattern
text field specifies calls to which the rule should be applied. If a call, either inbound or outbound, has a destination number that matches
the specified pattern, it will be completed according to the current rule. A routing pattern may contain wildcards. The complete list of characters and
wildcards allowed in this text field is given in the chapter
Allowed Characters and Wildcards
Number of Discarded Symbols (NDS)
requires the number of
symbols that should be discarded from the beginning of the
routing pattern. The field should be empty if digits do not need to
be discarded. Only numeric values are allowed for this field,
otherwise the error message “Error: Number of Discarded
Symbols is incorrect - digits allowed only” will appear.
Prefix
requires entering the symbols (letters, digits and any
characters supported in the SIP username) that will be placed in
front of the routing pattern instead of the discarded digits. The
following tags can be used for this field:
•
<callerid:range> - used to apply the complete or a part of
caller ID (the caller’s number detected during the call) as a
prefix. For example, <callerid:1-3> indicates that the first 3
digits of the caller ID will be considered as a prefix,
<callerid:3-end> indicates that the caller ID from its 3
rd
digit
and up to the end will be applied as a prefix. This tag can
be used in combination with other digits at the beginning or
at the end, as well as with wildcards.
•
<dialednum:range> - used to apply the complete or a part
of dialed number (the number dialed by the caller to place
a call) as a prefix. For example, <dialednum:1-3> indicates
that the first 3 digits of the dialed number will be considered
as a prefix, <dialednum:3-end> indicates that the dialed
number from its 3
rd
digit and up to the end will be applied
as a prefix. This tag can be used in combination with other
digits at the beginning or at the end, as well as with
wildcards.

A two-stage dialing allows successive numbers to be dialed one after another with a delay in-between. For example, 11,,,11018 will call 11, wait until
the call is established, wait for three seconds and then dial 11018. The capability of automatically dialing successive numbers allows the caller to
